Letters Patent No. 61,595, dated January 29, 1867.

IMPROVBD BsDBoTToM.

To ALL WHOMIT MAY ooNeERN;

Be it knoivn that I, A. S. BABBIT,.of Keeseville, in the county of Essex\.a.nd in the State of New York,

have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Spring Bed-Bottoms? and do hereby declare that the following is :L full, clear, ond exact description thereof, reference Being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

My invention has for its object -the connecting of the ordinary spiral spring to the slats of :liberi-bottom.

In the annexed drawings, A representsal metallic casting made so that it may easily be attached to the slats B. This casting is provided' with two ears, a a, which project toward 'cach other, as shown, and necessarilyv cause the slats of the bed-bottom to be bevelled at their edges'. Beneath each ear, oneachofy the under sides of the casting, are formed shoulders, a: a?, forv theA spring C to heattached.. They spring C isof the ordinary construction Vused in, bed-bottoms or mattresses, and is connected'to the casting 'by screwing around the shoulders z 9:, as shown in iig. l. The b'ottom ofthespring may be secured-in any way preferred. I construct this cast-ing of metal and pass a screw through it .between the shoulders x z, but I-prefer the connection herein described on account of the durability and'praeteebility of the invention'. Itwill be seen that the slatsB cannot be set down between the ears. but mustgbe passed inbetween, and'whenso nlacedis not liable to.becomc loose or make a. noise.

Having thus fully described my imfentom WhatI claim as new,.a'ud`desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The casting A, with 'its ears a and shoulders xx, when constructed substantially as described and used for the purposes set forth. v i

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 5th day of December, 186,6.

A. S, BABBIT.
